I bought an Epson scanner from America with a power supply for 100v-120v can I still use this in Australia which has 240v. Regards ****

Sheila You most likely will destroy the blender.

The voltage of the blender most likely will be designed for 120v AC and the South Africa power point will be 230v AC . (if internet information on SA is correct )
Check for a label on the blender that tells you what the input voltage AC is. most likely it will show 120V 60HZ
then you need a step down transformer.

Google search 240v AC to 115V AC step down transformer

Australia has a 230v supply, and the US 110v. The power supply for your charger will indicate what input voltage it can handle. PCs, for example, typically have power supplies that can use anything between 100v and 240v, which means you can take your laptop from country to country without worrying. My Ryobi charger on the other hand says 240v input, so it doesn't have this flexibility - usually it wouldn't need to. If yours says 110v then you'll need a converter for it to function properly in Australia.

Did you just use adapters or actual step-down transformers?
A lot of equipment today is 110/220 auto-switching, but if you get something built for 110V (120V, 100V, markings may vary) only, then you need more than an adapter, you need a transformer!

Welcome to Fixya,

According to the manual of The Philips Norelco Bodygroom BG2040, use only the cord and charging stand that was provided. Also you just have to plug the adaptor into 120V AC outlet.

If you want to know more about your Philips Norelco Bodygroom BG2040, just click here for the manual.

Hope this will help you and answered your question.

Thank you for using Fixya.

Yes, fuse may be blown, first check out the fuse of CDJ,
if it does not work. Install a physical 120v American transformer
also change the switch of 240v to 120v from back of CDJ

thx,

It is depends on your scanner power adapter and where u purchase the scanner from. Here if your scanner is from US then the adapter power input should be 100-120V 60Hz AC, if your scanner is from Euro, UK or Australia, the it should be 200-240V 50Hz AC, while if your scanner is from others place that not listed above then it should be 100-240V 50-60Hz AC.
But the best way is look at your adapter itself, u'll notice the power input and output from the adapter sticker.

If you lost your adapter then be sure to purchase 1 that can output a 12 VDC, 340mA, 4.22W adapter to the scanner.

I'll hazard a guess that you are trying to run these things off of a single household electrical circuit and want to avoid an overload. In that case, the best way is to determine how many Watts each device uses. That information can either be found on the back/bottom of the unit, or on the AC adaptor that came with it. In the latter case, use the "input power" value.

Once you know the wattage, divide by the input voltage - 120 Volts in the US, 100 Volts in Japan, or 240 Volts in Europe, Australia, and much of Asia.

For example...the info on the bottom of my boombox indicates 120V at 16W...

Watts / Volts = Amps
18W / 120V = 0.15A

In another example, my laptop power supply has the following info...

120V-240V @ 160W input
15.4V @ 145W output

I use 120 Volts here so the math goes...

160W / 120V = 1.333A

Note that the output values are not used.


If I want to know how much current the devices use together, I merely add them...

Boombox Amps + Laptop Amps = Total Amps

0.15A + 1.333A = 1.483A

I hope this helps !

Hi Mate

Without buying a multimeter the easiest way is to check with your nose. Sounds silly but trust me I've DOA'd over a thousand power supplys and the manufacurers that I have returned them to have never argued with my nose - neither has my multimeter. Sharp acrid metalicy/plasticy tipe smell and it's fried.

Other things are to try another aplience in the power point. The other thing that comes to mind is that a fair few power supplies come with a dual voltage switch 100/240 v. In Australia if you switch it over to 100v unit fried, if you local power is 100v and you have it set to 240v I have no idea what the result would be.

U can by a reasonable power supply for as little as $30AU but it is worth spending up to around $60AU ($3000US & $6000US in todays economic climate) especialy if you are thinking of adding further components to your system.

Final note my wife learnt to her advantage (hubby not such a dumb bugger) sacrafitial or resetable powerboards are a must.

Hope this helps.

If your Xbox360 is a North America version I would NOT DO IT. Get a travelers conveter kit that will allow 120v equipment to operate on 240v supply.
